What pedigree getting rocked and beaten by Huck and getting a gift decision, KOing a terribly average Charr, looking bad against Takam for 8 rounds until the 9th and the KO, or is it KOing another hypejob that I've never believed in in Mike Perez, Povetkin lost every round to Wlad, fought incredibly dumb, had no strategy whatsoever other than put his head down swing like a re**** and walk into Wlad's jab over and over and over again. Wach not very good either but I don't think you have to be that good to beat Povetkin.
Povetkin had no plan B, he just kept charging in with his head down and initiated most of the clinches actually, what did he expect to happen? It was an ugly, **** fight, but Povetkin was just as much a part of it.
Wach have iron chin(not sure if its still there after the beating from Wlad), have reach, size, height and hit hard. And lost once against the Champ. Not to mention most of the boxer not want any part of Wach, cause he is dangerous and have iron chin .... For sure he is a challenge for top guys. Also Wach will prepare Povetkin for Wilder. While Wilder took on cans that wont prepare him for Povetkin. He should fight guy that are similar to Povetkin.
This is a good one for Povetkin to get ready for Wilder. I think Wilder is better than people on this forum think he is. He beat Stiverne who is a tough fxcker. Stiverne and Povetkin would be a great fight. Cant wait for Wilder to fight another good fighter to see how good he is.
It was disgraceful performance by Wlad and the referee. Povetkin showed a lot of heart and fitness to even hang in there till the end given what he was being subjected to.
